The TaIlest Of Known Men.

The London Standard says:
"There appeared at the London
Pavilion last evening, for the first
time in this country, the tallest
man whose height has been recor-
ded in modern TIM es. The new
giant is an Austrian named Winkel
meier, and his height is s feet 8
inches, which is over 1 foot more
than that of Chang, the Chinese
giant. Wlnkelmeier was born at
Friedbarg, near Salzburg, Upper
Austria, In 1865, his parents being
in an humble station in life. He is
the youngest of a family of FIVE
children, none of whom are of alb
normal stature, nor are his parents
or grandparents unusually tall. His
fingers span two octaVes on piano,
and the stretch of his arms is enol>
nous. He showed no development
of this extraordinary growth up to
the age of IA, but since then he has
been growing rapidly, and medical
authorities in Berlin and Paris have
expressed the opinion that he is like
ly to increase till he is 25. The
young man Is healthy, strong and
intelligent. Beyond doubt he is one
Of the greatest curioslties OF the day
and his appearance last night side
by side with a dimInutive member
of the Schafor troop OF acrobats was
extraordinary. A huge bed has
been constructed for him IN the
building Of the pavilion, winch
will be his home for some time to
come.

During the last two years the de-
mands upon our state Treasurer to
meet extraordinary expenses have
b ca unusually large. During that
period about 81 ,O0O,OOO have been
needed to meet demands outside of
the usual and ordinary expenses OF
the Governmelt, such as the Torbett
Issue, back interest upon State
Bonds, for the erection OF the Asy-
lum for East Tennessee, the buy
ing of Codes, sc. This has all been
accomplished with tax Of 80 cen Is
on each $l09 worth Of taxable yal>
ues. Next year. at the farthest, will
see the last of the Torbett issue GER
tifcates taken in and cancelled.
Besides these, the only demand of
an extraordinary character will be
an appropriation for the completion
of the Asylum for West Tennessee.
We confidently predict that without
an Increase in the rate of taxation
lhe ordinary expenses Of the State
Government can bo met, the Tor
Dett issue certificates retired, and
the West Tennessee Asylum COM
tle,ed during the next two years.

The Corpse Mislaid

In back country town, where fu-
nerals serve much the same purpose
that the theater does IN cities, there
CHANGED to die one of the members
of the community, and one of the
neighbors was asked to ''take charge
of the funeral. On the day appoin-
ted the community assembled and
stood about in groups discussing
either the departed or the condition
of the crops, while the neighbor in
charge hustled from one room to
another making the last arrange
ments. The hour of the funeral
arrived and passed, and yet the ser
vices did not begin Sill more
time passed, and the manager of
affairs was seen to be hurrying
from room to room, looking anx-
iously about as if in search of some
thing
As time passed the audience be-
gan to show signs Of curiosity as the
perplexed face of the man in cha rye
appeared again before them, There
was evidently a "hitch" in the pro-
ceedings somewhere, and an expla-
nation was necessary. Mounting a
chair the impromtu undertaken said.
My friends, we are are very sorry to
cause any delay in the-ah last
rites to the departed, but the-ah-
truth is we have mislaid the corpse. .
1t TRANSFERRED that the coffin had
been brought down to the lower en-
try, or hall, from a chamber, and
through some Misunderstanding
ploced beside the stairwry in the
shadow. Those coming in from the
bright sunlight had thrown
their wraps upon it, not realizlng what
1t was, and thus made il invisible.

WHAT 1T MEANS,

The time has come when the cry
of the mugxumps, that there is no
precedent for a Democratic caucus
in Tennessee, will be heard no
more in the land. The Democratic
mem bers of the pr esent Legislature
have shown themselves to be equal
TO the emergency, and have placed
the party organization in this State
upon such a solid basis that the as =
saults of the disorganizers will fail
harmlessly at its base. The Demo-
cratic caucus was a grand success.
1t not only selected efficient and
capable men for all of the places to
be filled by the General Assembly,
but it demonstrated the fact that
there is sufficient wisdom and moler-
alton III the Democratic ranks to
discharge well the duties devOlving
upon it as the majority party with
out assistance from the opposition.
The democracy of Tennessee is to be
congratulated upon this important
step IN the direction of thorough
party organization. Party men. OF
both political parties, admit the
correctness If this policy. 1t is not
only a great saving of time, which
means a saving of money to the tax
payers, but 1t throws the response
biIity for the conduct of public Off
Gals upon the majority party, where
it properly belongs. Bate, Thomas,
and Pickard owe their tenure of of
fee solely to democrats, and tbs
democrats of Tennessee are alone
responsible for the manner in which
they discharge the several trus ia
committed TO them. This movement
means that in the future the party
lines are to be closely drawn. The
occupation of the mugwump is gone
and a man will have to be either z
Democrat or Republican. There
is no middle ground. 1t means thai
if candidates cannot stand before
the members 0 their own politica
households, they must go to the
wall. 1t is our candid opinion tina
if this movement is followed up BY
holding convent iOns, or primary
elections, as to all of the county
officers, it will be worth thousands
of votes to the democratic party il
this State. There has been too mucl
coqueting with Republicans in Ten
nessee on the part of Democrah,
candidates. A man elected to al
office by a combination of Democra
TIC and Republican votes, is no
worth anything to either party
This movement means that ther,
there Is to be an end of hypocracy
and double-dealing in politics
Political parties are necessary II
republics, and party organization i;
equally necessary in order to carry
out party tenets. Hereafter half
breed politicians will be at discount
and meme but thoroughbreds vii
stand any show.

The New York Times correspon-
dent sends back to his paper the
most favorable and Aattering reports
of progress throughout the South.
The Times says:-The letters from
our correspondent from Virginia and
Tennessee show a kind and degree
of progress in the South such as is
now going on nowhere IN the United
States and probably nowhere else in
the world, and this because nowhere
else are the conditions so favorable.
The. only movement in this country
that can be compared TO it is. the
one that took place from 1880 to
1850 in what are the Central and
were then the Western States. The
Southern movement differs from
that one in that it is far more varied
including not only agriculture.
though this is not by any means alb.
sent, but great numbers and kinds
of manufactures and mining. It
differs also in that a new country
has not to be settled and wrested
from tie wilderness, but there is a
s,ld basis or organization, social,
political and commercial, on which
to build. Again, the resources and
the methods of those engaged in
the Southern movement are of a far
higher and more efficient sort than
those of half a century since. There
is a vast accumulation of available
capital ready for actual Investment
A banking system as nearly perfect
as the world has ever seen is ready
to facilitate all legitimate enterprise.
The currency, whatever may be its
future, is safe and uniform, and can
not be Initiated or endangered by the
adventures of SPECTATORS, financial
fanatics or swindlers, as that of the
last generation could be and often
was. Communication of all sorts,
for passengers and freight, and for
exchanges, is rapid, extensive, safe,
sure and constantly growing cheap
er The one thing common to both
movements is the American spirit
of energy, self-reliance and indOmi-
table courage. 1t is not too much
t. say that enormous as was the adj
vantage to the country from the
Western movement, that made pos
sible in the South fairly ranks with
it; and involved even a greater flu
ture."
The above is as strong an endorse.
nent as any Southern paper could
make, and shows that the develOpe-
ment of the resources Of the South
is attracting attention frem all quar-
tiers of the Union The Times even
places the present industrial move
ment in the Southabove that which
took place in the West just previous
to the war, and says that 1t is moi
confined to agriculture alone but to the
development of mineral wealth anC
manufactures as well, and thus the
| good work goes on. But what is Har-
| deman County doing to keep in line

pie awake to the possibilities of the

The tariff reformers in the House
have signlfed a willingness to meet
Mr.. Randall and his followers in a
spirit Of compromise, in order to
effect reduction in tariff taxation,
ana if that very much desired result
is not accomplished, the latter will
be solely responsible Tor taking more
money from the people than the
Government needs. But it is doubt
full if Mr.. Randall will abandon his
pet plan of reducing the tax on
whlskeY and tobacco, and leaving
the tax on the necessaries of life
practically unchanged. Free whiskey
and a heavy tax on the necessares
life, will, never meet the approval
OF the people of Tennessee, no matter
what the people Of Pennsylvania

AT TIMBERLINE

Since the last election, when the word
"Timberline" sounded the death-knell
Of Col. Sanders hopes of political prefer.
ment, the place has almost been forgot
t.u, and it is seldom indeed that a
mention is made of it in any way. Yet
the camp still exists, and although the
busy hum of industry is not heard. and
the railroad tracks leading thereto have
become rusty with Gsuse, rimberlIne
bids fair to once more play an important
part in the coal mining industry of the
territory. For nearly a year the North
.ern Pacific company have been engaged
in dri, ing a tunnel TO bed of coal at
the upper end of the gulch. This tunnel
is about completed. and is 900 feetlong
Night and day for one year twelve men
have been prosecuting this work, four
working eight hour shifts each. A con-
siderable force of men have also been
working on the surface, preparing for
active work when the main body of coal
should he reached. We expect to an
nounee in few weeks that Timberline
has resumed work again with all the
vigor that characterized it in its palmiest
DAYS. Bozeman derived no inconsider-
able aa,ount of trade with Timberllna
tive years ago, and 1t is with more than
an ordinary degree of pleasure tnat we
welcome the camp oack to its new life.

CROP NOTES.
From all Parts of the dallatin Valley. Figures
that tell a Wonderful Tale.

A. G. Carson raised from his ranch
adjoining Bozeman, 1000 bushels of po-
tatoes, from about eight acres.
. Ben Bisel, who is known as one of our
most successful farmers raised this year
from 80 acres : ,li5 bushels of oats Mr.
Bisel says that in the heaviest portion of
the grain the yield was over 100 bushels
per acre but the total amount is as
given. The snow storm of September
laid his crop low, and the loss occaGioned
by this was considerable.
Chas. Overstreet of Salesville ti,reshed
from 6S acres 1878 of oats and wheat.
From 32 acres of sod spring plowing, he
threshed l73 bushels of oats and wheat
principally wheat.
II. W. Todd, of West Gallatin thresh-
ed s72 bushels Of grain from Is acres.
J. G. Lane, West Gallatin had 15 acres
